A much much larger proportion of users are computer illiterate, especially federal employees. On top of that, the vast majority of basic software applications used are the Microsoft suite of Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. How do you

1. Retrain an aging workforce to use a new OS.
2. Retrain to use new software suite for email, docs, etc.
3. Or rebuild existing software to run on Linux
4. …there’s more but I’m short on time…

The ENTIRE US govt runs on Microsoft. That’s a very big pie to rebake. Where do you even begin. I do agree with you, it just feels unsurmountable.

Thank you for the fact check

Some days I’m just an autocomplete

A quick search for trying to get an ad onto a pump led to this site. Pumps are not all the same, some are uploaded via wired or wireless network. Some via USB. If you want to be a solution, try to be the problem and then work your way backwards.

This is the correct answer. Consolidation of resources and power. Sure there will still be those on the periphery trying to make something from the eddies and currents left in the wake of these massive corporate ships cruising by, but the vast majority of the little guys will drown. Unfortunately I don’t see another way for humanity to galvanized enough resources to create AGI in our lifetime. So there will be consequences, but such is life, the biggest mold gets the food. Then come the viruses.

When my father was younger he devised a plan to drop down out of a tree onto the back of a deer and take it down with a knife. He said it beat the shit out of him with its antlers. So I think I could take down a doe, a deer, a female dear.

I would like to represent those of us who use Word everyday and either kinda like it, or just don’t give a shieeeet

Fair point. I hadn’t thought of it that way.

“I’m good at multitasking” is just another way of saying you can’t focus on one thing at a 🐿️ SQUIRREL!

Then the toothbrush, washing machine, thermostat, sous vide circulator, and butt plug start a podcast, “Plugged In”

Hi I’m, I’m in.

Exactly, yes! Pretty much everything when left out in direct sunlight eventually fades or breaks down. There’s a reason why UV light kills germs, it damages what is touches.

It’s only going to get better. Soon you won’t be able to tell.

Things are starting to get weird faster than I thought wierd would get here.

And a how do you do to you too dear Doctor.

TO THE ATMOSPHEEEEEERE!

You can tell it, in the custom instructions setting, to not be conversational. Try telling it to ‘be direct, succinct, detailed and accurate in all responses’. ‘Avoid conversational or personality laced tones in all responses’ might work too, though I haven’t tried that one. If you look around there are some great custom instructions prompts out there that will help get you were you want to be. Note, those prompts may turn down it’s creativity, so you’ll want to address that in the instructions as well. It’s like building a personality with language. The instructions space is small so learning how compact as much instruction in with language can be challenging.

Edit: A typo

It’s a tool. And like any tool it’s only as good as the person using it. I don’t think these people are very good at using it.

Mauve you’re right, mauve you’re not, mauve I’ll see for myself.

These are the ones I’ve tried personally.

-Brotato It’s like vampire survivor, but potato

-Subnautica The underwater visuals are perfect for baked brains

-Destiny 2 Go solo and just visit the different worlds, don’t worry about quests or missions just enjoy the scenery and shoot things, occasionally. Without knowing what’s going on there are a lot of neat secrets places to stumble into and some of the scenery is awe inspiring.

-Disco Elysium If you can read and toke, it takes you places

-Dorf Romantik Someone already mentioned this but it’s worth it. Like a puzzle, but there are no wrong pieces

-Eufloria Not complicated, very chill. I don’t know how to describe what it is…leaf seeds fighting each other?

-Lego Pick a franchise and there’s a Lego game. Doesn’t require much brain power and you always feel like your winning.

-Red Dead Redemption 2 It’s like going for a walk in the wilderness from the couch

-Superliminal It’ll bend your brain and is totally worth completing in one sitting. If you can’t figure out what to do just look it up. The end is worth being high for. Kind of like Stanley Parable, but with ‘perspective’.

-Stanley Parable Definitely try this one.

Peggle and Tetris effect are also really great suggestions. Tetris Effect has a really great reactive soundtrack.

Ones I haven’t tried but think would work

-High on life

-Powerwash simulator
